Their job was to make it work or show that it wouldn't work.
Conceptually, it should work. In actuallity, the NT OS and associated

software is slowing their progress. Thankfully, the advocate for Access
has departed and attention is now focusing on Oracle and Sybase as the
main DB server in a Unix environment.
